We’re proud to participate with the Detroit Economic Growth Corp. and Motor City Match in the City of Detroit’s Grow Detroit’s Young Talent summer internship program. Our intern, Micah, is self-motivated and creative. She has experience developing graphic design and marketing materials at her high school, and she’ll be assisting us with social media and in creating our first year economic impact report.
Our coworking atmosphere exposes Micah to an entrepreneurial career path and provide an opportunity for her to interact with several business owners all in one location who can act as strong role models.
Micah is ambitious and has set many goals beyond high school, including being an entrepreneur and attending medical school to become a pediatrician or OBGYN.
We’re proud to be part of the “new culture of entrepreneurism,” described by Mayor Mike Duggan, “where Detroiters are realizing their dream of opening their own businesses to provide residents access to more goods and services…” Read more in the Motor City Match press release.

Ten of the 13 businesses awarded a total of $500,000 in Motor City Match grants are women-owned – including SpaceLab Detroit – as reported in Crain’s Detroit Business. Last July, we were a Round 4 Space Award winner through the program. The Space Award connects “new or existing businesses with top available Detroit real estate and financial planning assistance.”
